The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has said they will award the Academy Fellowship to actor Michael Palin, member of the popular comedy group Monty Python.
According to Bingham’s president John Wallis, the award recognizes Palin’s tireless contributions to the British film and television industry over the past five decades.

Michael Palin became famous when he wrote the script and acted as the main character for the comedy group Monty Python. This comedy filmed a series of TV series with various themes spanning from 1969-1983. Monty Python (commonly known as The Pythons) is a comedy group that created Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a BBC television program that first aired on the BBC on October 5, 1969. 45 episodes were recorded with more than 4 series.
The British comedy Monty Python has a lot of “parody” that really makes sound, they have touched the subject sacred related to sensitive topic such as Jesus or King Arthur.
Monty’s Life of Brian (1979) is an example. This film revolves around the story of Brian, a Jewish boy born at the right time and place like Jesus, believing himself to be the prophet sent by God, but the problem is that he cannot convince people to believe this truth.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a film about the time of King Arthur. Born in 1975 with limited budget and little film-making experience by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, The Holy Grail has brought the success beyond expectations and has become a must-have movie in Monty’s history. The film lasted more than an hour and a half with strange details, monstrous, a little crazy but that was the reason made the film and become one of the best comedy of all time. The film’s simplicity, its simple content and the way it is filmed when it comes to combining animated images and virtual characters is “clumsy”. All that thought was not good, but added humor to a very special Holy Grail, very special and impressive than ever.
In 2000, readers of Total Film voted Monty Python and the Holy Grail was one of the five best comedies of all time.
